We synthesized and characterized several peptides containing the IKLLI sequence in the α1 chain of laminin-1. The IKLLI-containing peptides, such as LA4 (CSRNLSEIKLLISRARK), LA5 (EIKLLIS) and LA5L (SEIKLLIS), were found to mediate heparin binding and cell adhesion, while also promoting neurite outgrowth in PC12 cells. Furthermore, peptides LA4 and LA5 also mediated proliferation. However, a scrambled peptide, LA5S (ILEKSLI), did not show any of these activities. Anti-LA4 antibodies inhibited laminin- and LA5-mediated cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth, and anti-(integrin α3) and anti-(integrin β1) antibodies inhibited LA5-mediated cell adhesion and neurite outgrowth. Heparin and heparan sulphate inhibited LA5-mediated heparin binding and PC12 cell adhesion in a dose- dependent manner. The IC50 for inhibition of heparin binding and cell adhesion was observed with 9 μM and 8 μM heparin/heparan sulphate respectively. Furthermore, heparan sulphate proteoglycan also inhibited LA5-mediated PC12 cell adhesion with an IC50 of 100 μg/ml. However, chondroitin sulphate (dermatan sulphate) did not inhibit cell adhesion. These data suggest that an IKLLI-containing peptide derived from the laminin α1 chain may be an active site of laminin and that its cell adhesion may thus interact with both integrin α3β1 and cell- surface heparan sulphate proteoglycan.

Chondroitin Sulphate Proteoglycan

Proteoglycans on the cell surface play critical roles in the adhesion of fibroblasts to a fibronectin-containing extracellular matrix, including the model mouse cell line Balb/c 3T3. In order to evaluate the biochemistry of these processes, long-term [35S]sulphate-labelled proteoglycans were extracted quantitatively from the adhesion sites of 3T3 cells, after their EGTA-mediated detachment from the substratum, by using an extractant containing 1% octyl glucoside, 1 M-NaCl and 0.5 M-guanidinium chloride (GdnHCl) in buffer with many proteinase inhibitors. Greater than 90% of the material was identified as a large chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan (Kav. = 0.4 on a Sepharose CL2B column), and the remainder was identified as a smaller heparan sulphate proteoglycan; only small amounts of free chains of glycosaminoglycan were observed in these sites. These extracts were fractionated on DEAE-Sepharose columns under two different sets of elution conditions: with acetate buffer (termed DEAE-I) or with acetate buffer supplemented with 8 M-urea (termed DEAE-II). Under DEAE-I conditions about one-half of the material was eluted as a single peak and the remainder required 4 M-GdnHCl in order to recover it from the column; in contrast, greater than 90% of the material was eluted as a single peak from DEAE-II columns. Comparison of the elution of [35S]sulphate-labelled proteoglycan with that of 3H-labelled proteins from these two columns, as well as mixing experiments, indicated that the GdnHCl-sensitive proteoglycans were trapped at the top of columns, partially as a consequence of their association with proteins in these adhesion-site extracts. Affinity chromatography of these proteoglycans on columns of either immobilized platelet factor 4 or immobilized plasma fibronectin revealed that most of the chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan and the heparan sulphate proteoglycan bound to platelet factor 4 but that only the heparan sulphate proteoglycan bound to fibronectin, providing a ready means of separating the two proteoglycan classes. Affinity chromatography on octyl-Sepharose columns to test for hydrophobic domains in their core proteins demonstrated that a high proportion of the heparan sulphate proteoglycan but none of the chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan bound to the hydrophobic matrix. These results are discussed in light of the possible functional importance of the chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan in the detachment of cells from extracellular matrix and in light of previous affinity fractionations of proteoglycans from the substratum-adhesion sites of simian-virus-40-transformed 3T3 cells.

Heparin-binding forms of vitronectin, a multifunctional adhesive glycoprotein, are associated with the extracellular matrix (ECM) at different locations in the body and serve to promote cell adhesion and the regulation of pericellular proteolysis at sites of angiogenesis. In the present study we characterized the interactions of vitronectin with the counter-adhesive protein osteonectin (also termed SPARC or BM40). Osteonectin and vitronectin were both found associated with the ECM of cultured endothelial cells and were localized in vessel wall sections of kidney tissue. In vitro, the heparin-binding multimeric isoform of vitronectin bound to immobilized osteonectin in a saturable manner with half-maximal binding at 30–40 nM. Preincubation of plasma vitronectin with plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI-1), which provoked multimer formation, induced the binding of vitronectin to osteonectin. Binding was optimal at physiological ionic strength, and binary complexes were stabilized by tissue transglutaminase-mediated cross-linking. In a concentration-dependent fashion, PAI-1, CaCl2, heparin and heparan sulphate, but not other glycosaminoglycans, interfered with the binding of vitronectin to osteonectin. Using vitronectin-derived synthetic peptides as well as mutant forms of recombinant osteonectin, we found that the heparin-binding region of vitronectin interacted with the C-terminal region of osteonectin that contains a high-affinity Ca2+-binding site with counter-adhesive properties. Adhesion of cultured endothelial cells was partly abrogated by osteonectin and was correspondingly reversed by vitronectin in a concentration-dependent manner. These results indicate that specific interactions between vitronectin and osteonectin modulate cell adhesion and might thereby regulate endothelial cell function during angiogenesis.

Collagen XIV was isolated from neutral salt extracts of human placenta and purified by several chromatographic steps including affinity binding to heparin. The same procedures also led to the purification of a tissue form of fibronectin. Collagen XIV was demonstrated by partial sequence analysis of its Col1 and Col2 domains and by electron microscopy to be a disulphide-linked molecule with a characteristic cross-shape. The individual chains had a size of approximately 210 kD, which was reduced to approximately 180 kD (domain NC3) after treatment with bacterial collagenase. Specific antibodies mainly to NC3 epitopes were obtained by affinity chromatography and used in tissue and cell analyses by immunoblotting and radioimmunoassays. Two sequences from NC3 were identified on fragments obtained after trypsin cleavage. They were identical to cDNA-derived sequences of undulin, a noncollagenous extracellular matrix protein. This suggests that collagen XIV and undulin may be different splice variants from the same gene. Heparin binding was confirmed in ligand assays with a large basement membrane heparan sulphate proteoglycan. This binding could be inhibited by heparin and heparan sulphate but not by chondroitin sulphate. In addition, collagen XIV bound to the triple helical domain of collagen VI. The interactions with heparin sulphate proteoglycan and collagen VI were not shared by the NC3 domain, or by reduced and alkylated collagen XIV. No or only low binding was observed for collagens I-V, pN-collagens I and III, and several noncollagenous matrix proteins, including laminin, recombinant nidogen, BM-40/osteonectin, plasma and tissue fibronectin, vitronectin, and von Willebrand factor. Insignificant activity was also shown in cell attachment assays with nine established cell lines.

The proteoglycans synthesized by an osteoblast-like cell line of rat origin (UMR 106-01) were defined after biosynthetic labelling with [35S]sulphate and [3H]glucosamine. Newly synthesized labelled proteoglycans were characterized by differential enzymic digestion in combination with analytical gel filtration and SDS/PAGE. UMR 106-01 cells were found to synthesize three major species of proteoglycan: a large chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan of Mr approximately 1 x 10(6), with a core protein of Mr approximately 350,000-400,000; a small chondroitin sulphate-containing species of Mr approximately 120,000 with a core protein of Mr 43,000; and a heparan sulphate proteoglycan of Mr approximately 150,000, with a core protein of Mr approximately 80,000. Over 70% of the newly synthesized intact proteoglycan species are associated with the cell layer of near-confluent cells; however, accessibility to trypsin digestion suggests an extracellular location. Chemical characteristics of the proteoglycans and preliminary mRNA hybridization indicate that the small chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan is probably PG II (decorin). The large chondroitin sulphate proteoglycan is most likely related to a hyaluronate-aggregating species from fibroblasts (versican), and the heparan sulphate proteoglycan bears striking similarities to cell-membrane-intercalated species described for a number of cell types.

We have previously shown that the LG4 (laminin G-like) domain of the laminin α4 chain is responsible for the significantly higher affinity of the α4 chain to heparin than found for other α chains [Yamaguchi, Yamashita, Mori, Okazaki, Nomizu, Beck and Kitagawa (2000) J. Biol. Chem. 275, 29458–29465]; four basic residues were identified to be essential for this activity [Yamashita, Beck and Kitagawa (2004) J. Mol. Biol. 335, 1145–1149]. By creating GST (glutathione S-transferase)-fused LG1, LG2, LG4 and LG5 proteins, we found that only LG4 is active for the adhesion of human HT1080 cells, human umbilical vein endothelial cells and Drosophila haemocytes Kc167 with a half-saturating concentration of 20 μg/ml. Adhesion was counteracted by treatment of the cells with heparin, heparan sulphate and heparitinase I. Upon mutating the four basic residues essential for heparin binding within LG4, the adhesion activity was abolished. Pull-down experiments using glutathione beads/GST-fusion proteins indicate a direct interaction of LG4 with syndecan-4, which might be the major receptor for cell adhesion. Neither the release of glypican-1 by treating human cells with phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C nor targeted knockdown of dally or dally-like protein impaired the cell-adhesion activity. As the LG4–LG5 domain of the α4 chain is cleaved in vivo from the main body of laminin-8 (α4β1γ1), we suggest that the heparan sulphate proteoglycan-binding activity of LG4 is significant in modulating the signalling of Wnt, Decapentaplegic and fibroblast growth factors.
